Original Post (Key Excerpt)
The PR Deep Review vs standard review split is a version of a problem we see everywhere in interpretability: your ground truth is never as complete as you think. Fast tools are scored against what humans catch in the moment. Deep Review tools have more context, so they may catch things the gold set missed. That changes what 'precision' actually means.Why It Matches Ryva ICP
Teams measuring review quality by immediate catches while missing deeper context-driven issues. Strong fit for orgs tuning review quality and risk metrics.
Underlying Problem
Review scorecards reward shallow precision and ignore findings that require broader context, causing latent defects to survive validation.

This is a measurement problem as much as a tooling problem. If teams score review quality only against what was immediately visible, they penalize deeper checks that surface cross-context risk. Metrics should separate “quick diff accuracy” from “system-level risk discovery.”Suggested DM Idea (Copy)
How does your team currently measure review quality: immediate diff findings only, or also delayed/system-level issues discovered later?Snapshot
